Whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight, I came across a second hand book store, having begun research on different styles of weaving I asked if they happened to have anything with corn dollies. I was surprised with the reply “oh yes, follow me to the corn dollie section” I followed the gentleman up three flights of stairs past endless rooms stacked floor to ceiling with books, until we arrived in a room where he pointed to a labelled shelf, “here is the weaving section”. I could have stayed there all day, he had amassed every possible type of book featuring many weaves that I had never come across. I found this delightful book by the Womens Institute
